Chapter 309: Tailgating all the way
The little devil suddenly came back to his senses, and he waved his hand at me: "No, I won't go back tonight." m.”
As he spoke, he took out a note from the black scarf girl from his pocket: "That girl lives nearby, I don't need to be invisible, the area around the crystal bar is very safe." ”
Looking at his youthful appearance, I was speechless for a while.
However, this world has its own rules, and the people here also have their own living conditions, and I really can't judge anything, so I just briefly advised: "Then you should be more careful." He quickly hid himself and turned back to the bar.
Before he returned, the Rat King told me the route of him and the pig's head, and after they left the back door of the bar, they would walk towards the road on the left side of the triangle alley, and at each intersection he would leave a mark for me so that I could find the right way.
Since I had planned to send the little devil back, I made a pact with the Rat King that I would return to the bar within an hour and a half, and he would need to delay as long as possible so that I could catch up with him and the pighead.
The secret door to enter the old city has always been guarded by the rat king's people, and without him, I can't get in at all.
Before, I was curious about what kind of alley can be called a "triangle alley".
It wasn't until I got out of the back door of the bar that I noticed that there was a very sharp iron wall facing the doorway, and there were two paths on either side of the wall, and the sharpest angle of the wall was facing the doorway.
Damn, this feng shui is quite terrible, but the feng shui pattern in the sea market is already messy, and it is not bad for this evil feng shui.
At this time, the Rat King and the Pig's Head were walking slowly on the path to the left of the iron wall, and the floor tiles on this path were all cut into strange triangles.
This is the Triangle Alley.
I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that there is a very stuffy smell in this alley, but if I sniff it carefully, I can't find anything abnormal, and this invisible and untouchable smell always reminds me of the illusion brought by the whispers of the deep sea.
I tiptoed to quickly follow behind the rat king and the pig's head, and quietly condensed my mind, and my wrist shook slightly, urging him towards the rat king.
The Rat King may not have cultivated, but he already knows what it's like to be enveloped in my telekinesis.
As soon as the telekinesis reached his back, he paused.
The Rat King was a clever man, and he could immediately understand what was going on, and he only paused slightly, but did not stop, and then sped up and walked deeper into the path with the pig's head.
Before he could go far, the pig's head suddenly called, "Sir." ”
At that moment, an extremely strong vigilance floated in the Rat King's heart, but his tone was the same as usual: "What's wrong?" ”
The pig's head hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "You seem to have a good relationship with that gladiator." ”
The Rat King replied without looking back: "There is nothing that is not fated to be loved, I treat him well because he can bring me benefits." ”
"But sir, have you gotten too close to him, for what he has done at the bar today is dangerous. You didn't keep enough safety distance from him. ”
"He's probably going to be the most expensive gladiator ever, and we've got to get on good terms with him."
"But you shouldn't joke with your safety."
"Don't worry, he can be trusted."
"Sir, I don't know what kind of rhetoric he uses to make you let your guard down, but I think that since you have only just met him, and you don't even know his details, you should keep enough distance from him."
This time the Rat King didn't respond, just walked silently towards the depths of the path.
The pig's head seemed to be afraid that the rat king would be angry if he talked too much, so he also closed his mouth.
The strange thing is that when the pig head talked to the rat king just now, he was not at all false in his heart, it is said that a traitor like him, as long as he mentions the safety of the rat king, his heart should be terrified, but I can also hear that the reason why he said these words is completely business, in fact, he is not worried about the rat king's previous actions.
I couldn't help but frown, this guy didn't look like a traitor or a cronie of the Rat King.
Weird.
Judging from the fact that he lied about getting the pills from the dragonflies, he should be a traitor.
After a moment of reflection, I made a preliminary judgment.
Pighead is indeed a traitor, but he is just helping the cultists squeeze the oil and water out of the rat king, and he doesn't know that the cultists are going to kill the rat king, or that the cultists have no plan to assassinate the rat king at all.
If the pig's head just didn't know that the cultists wanted to kill the Rat King, it meant that he was just a marginal figure in the eyes of the cultists, at least not as valued as Andre.
But if the cultists didn't have a plan to assassinate the Rat King in the first place, then they had to think deeper.
Why didn't they kill the Rat King, and what else did they want from the Rat King?
With so little information at hand, I can't think of an answer based on speculation at the moment.
After nearly two hours of walking behind the rat king and the pig's head, we finally came to a dark alley surrounded by dirty gutters.
This alley is already very narrow, but there is a dirty ditch with the thickness of a bowl on each side of the road, and there are even fewer places to stay.
A chandelier was lit near the middle of the alley, dimly lit, but faintly illuminating the water in the ditch, where it took on an extremely dirty dark color, and through the light, a layer of heat floating on the edge of the ditch could be faintly seen.
But the water just looks dirty, and there is no strange smell in the alley.
The Rat King and the Pighead quickly walked under the lamp, and the Pig's Head raised his arm and knocked twice on the wall directly below the lamphead.
After the pig's head stopped, I first heard a crisp "click" on the wall, and then a whirring and grinding sound.
A secret door was first recessed into the otherwise flat wall, and the person on the other side of the door panel struggled to pull the door open.
At the moment when the secret door was fully opened, the Rat King suddenly became angry and pointed at the person on the other side of the door and shouted: "What's the matter with your clothes, how many days have you not washed them?" Dirty stuff! Face the wall, all for me, don't turn around before I go away! ”
The Rat King is very smart, the path connected to the secret door is very narrow, and there are many people inside, if I go in like this, I will definitely be discovered by others, and he is trying to make it easier for me to move by letting these people face the wall.
After everyone turned their faces to the wall in fear, the Rat King entered the secret door in a rage, and because he was "angry", his steps were also very fast.
The pig's head probably couldn't figure out where the nameless fire of the Rat King came from, and he was a little stunned, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only trot all the way to keep up with the Rat King's footsteps.
I followed them through a few corridors and a very dark staircase to finally enter the underground drainage system that had been converted from the old town.
There is one thing I still can't figure out, why did the Rat King build his power in the sewers, which is the dirtiest place in the entire sea market, even though he has a habit of cleanliness.
